I like the idea, but I'm afraid of making the table too long that might scare people from updating it because they would have to lookup too much information to add a new body. is there a general rule of thumb for these variations ?

I agree. The only reason it is like that now, is because I've imported the Atomic Mods Spreadsheet. I also found it redundant and at some point I would get rid of it. Let's do it.

Sure, the image link is supposed to be a link to a folder directory on whatever service one picks, google picase works for me as any other. The idea here is not to link to an image, but a folder where several images will be.

Thanks for contributing!
